Sit facing the cable machine with a straight bar attached to a low pulley. Grab the bar using an overhand (reverse) grip, about shoulder-width apart. Rest your forearms on your thighs so that your wrists hang just over your knees.
Exhale as you curl the wrists up (concentric phase); inhale as you lower the bar and stretch the forearms.
